Breakthrough Leak, Fill Inspection for Aseptic, Brick-Style Liquid Paperboard Cartons

Leak and fill-level inspection of (increasingly aluminum layer-free) liquid-filled, brick-style paperboard carton containers from the likes of Tetra Pak and SIG haven't been a reality without damaging the containers---until now, says Teledyne TapTone.

This new packaging tech is especially interesting because of the wait.

It was displayed at PACK EXPO International in Chicago last fall, but wasn't ready for reporting by Packaging World at the time. PW editors saw this equipment at interpack this past May, too, but it was in Alpha testing stages. Finally, at PACK EXPO Las Vegas this month, Mark Bussard, Teledyne TapTone Product Line Manager, confirms it's ready for the world to know about it.

The TapTone ECLIPSE inspection solution was designed to perform leak inspection of steam flushed and hot-filled liquid paperboard cartons such as the SIG Combibloc- and TETRA BRIK-style cartons. This new technology from TapTone allows cartons to be inspected at full production speeds for possible leaks occurring in the seal area, cap closures, or internal membranes which might otherwise not be detected. The inspection is a non-contact solution and capable of 100% inspection in-line at full production speeds.Teledyne TapTone ECLIPSE inspection equipment, with cantilever design.Teledyne TapTone ECLIPSE inspection equipment, with cantilever design.
